I don’t understand Amazon sometimes. I happened to notice that they have their new Fire HD 8 Reader’s Edition bundle on sale for $199, which is $50 off the regular price. Yet Amazon doesn’t advertise this deal anywhere on their dedicated deals pages. Whatever… It’s a limited time offer that doesn’t say anywhere when it […]
New Open Box Kobo Auras Going for $68
I happened to come across a listing yesterday with a seller offering some Kobo Auras on eBay for $67.95. The item condition is listed as “new open box”, so they were most likely demo units or leftover stock. Either way they are the version with the magenta-colored back. Kobo dropped the price of the Aura […]
Amazon Adds New Kindle Essentials Bundle for $109
Amazon recently added a new bundle package deal for the entry-level Kindle that comes with an Amazon cover and power adapter for $109, with six different color choices for the cover. The Kindle sells for $79 and the Amazon cover sells for $29 when purchased separately, so essentially you get a free power adapter with […]
Kindle Fire HDX Lightning Deal for $149 – Is it Worth It?
For at least the second time in the past couple of weeks Amazon has their 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX marked down to $149 for one of their Lightning Deals. The regular retail price is $215 so that’s $65 off the regular price, but it’s not quite as good of a deal as it may seem. […]

Kobo Adds Book Stats to Website, With Estimated Reading Time
Kobo has started rolling out a new book stats and keywords section to the product pages of ebooks on the Kobo website. The stats don’t appear for all books but a good share of them now display stats. Book statistics include the number of pages, the total number of words, and there’s a reading time […]
Texture Offers Unlimited Digital Magazines for $9.99 per Month
Have you heard of Texture, the magazine subscription app? Until last week I’d never heard of it before, at least that’s what I thought at first. Texture isn’t new exactly. A few months ago Next Issue, which started out on the iPad, changed its name to Texture, and added some new social and sharing features […]
